Questions from the block

Hood Warfare is a gritty 4v4 hood turf-war shooter for Android. Two crews fight over three corners — the Yard, the Junction and the Loading Dock — stacking rep to call in snitches, homies and drive-bys.

Yes. It's free to download and play. Optional gold packs and cosmetics are sold on hoodwarfare.net; cosmetics never change weapon stats.

Turf war (4v4 capture over three zones) is live. Free-for-all (2–8 players, first to 20 kills or 8 minutes) and team deathmatch (first to 40 or 8 minutes) are rolling out together with six new maps: the Projects, the Docks, the Strip, the Rail Yard, Rooftops and the Dead Mall.

Both — toggle during a match. Third person shows more of your surroundings, but hip-fire is less accurate, and aiming snaps back to first person. Shots still come from your character's eye, so cover still counts.

Nine guns across pistol, rifle and shotgun slots (from the Nine and Block AK to the Desert Hawk, Heavy SCAR and Auto Shotty), extended, taped and drum mags, light and heavy armor, frag grenades, medkits and hollow points. The RPG can't be bought — it spawns in roof stashes and marks the carrier on everyone's radar.

No. Hood Warfare has no real-money betting, wagering or cash-out between players, and trading accounts or items for money isn't allowed.

Android 10 or newer on a 64-bit phone; 4 GB of RAM recommended. Google Play release comes later; iPhone isn't supported yet.

Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email (Google sign-in is coming). Guests can link an account later without losing progress, and every account picks a unique gangster name.

Street Cash comes from kills, captures and match results, plus capped rewarded ads. Gold comes from your daily login streak, achievements and gold packs. Both unlock guns and gear; gold also buys cosmetics.

Card checkout through Whop, or crypto checkout through FixedFloat. You need an email- or Google-linked account, and items are credited after the provider confirms the payment.
